The Republican party is in trouble

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) drew straws over the weekend and Sen. Rand Paul came out on top as the leading Republican figure for their party. Florida Senator Marco Rubio came in a close second.

CPAC is already putting their thoughts together for 2016. Wow, no time like the present to looking toward the future. Pres. Obama is only three months into his second term and already the Republicans are strategizing. I find the whole scenario silly and just another reason to not trust them.

Right now those in Congress (both Democrats and Republicans) should be working diligently to come to comprise over our national debt problems – instead Republicans choose to go and play their little political games. I’m more inclined to call them “Republicants.”

From what I saw of CPAC on the news I wasn’t impressed. Why was Sarah Palin there? My God – Are they that stupid? Didn’t any of them even see “Game Change”? She, of all party affiliates, should have avoided such a conference, let alone, even been invited.

Mitt Romney passed the so-called “torch” to the next generation of republicants, to which Rick Santorum hoped to get. He came up in just single digits in the straw poll. Somebody needs to kindly tell him to go home. His own party can no longer get behind a man who wants to take us back 100 years. Santorum spoke and said, “Obama wants a Godless America.” What kind of crap is that?

The Republican party is in desperate need of an overhaul and no one present can do it. Senate Majority Leader John Boehner can’t do it either. The man is a divider and not someone who wants to unite the country.

People and life is ever-evolving. Republicans need to embrace the change and grow with it. Then, and only then, will they come back to being a party worthy of leading our nation. I don’t see that happening for a long time, though – at least from what we continue to see from them. I’m not impressed, to say the least.

Pres. Obama is not a perfect man. No man is, however, he is at least trying. That is more than I can say for most republicans. I have never seen a leader tackle so many issues in as shortest time as he has and manage to accomplish something – no one since Roosevelt has been able to do so many monumental things for America than Obama has done. I secretly believe they are holding that against him because he was able to do what they’ve tried to do for years and failed.

CPAC or not, the Republican party is in trouble and weary of existence if they don’t change.
